========================================================================
The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP)
is a new annual conference combining the established LISP and Functional
Programming (LFP) and Functional Programming and Computer Architecture
(FPCA) conferences. The conference is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN in
association with IFIP WG 2.8 and will take place in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania as part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC
'96). A workshop on Functional Languages in the Introductory Computing
Curriculum (FLIC) will be held on the morning of May 24 in connection with
ICFP.
